Sales of Sony’s PlayStation VR tech are on track to outsell the combined sales of HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, according to data tracker GfK’s October consumer panel survey.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
I guess we will see over time, but at this point it seems that HTC, Oculus (arguably somewhat different markets - PC), and Microsoft (although not VR at this point, still PS competition), just can't compete with Sony on a global scale. Too many resources with regards to software AND hardware mean it is an uphill struggle for them all.
Touch launch will renew some interest in Oculus no doubt (can't wait for mine to arrive). But Sony has the advantage of offering the lowest barrier of entry to the VR world. And while I still feel my Rift is definitely superior in both image and tracking, the PSVR is still a great entry point for many and has the advantage of some of the Sony franchises backing it.
Sony just does gaming better,they know how to make hardware cheap and affordable with games to match.
The thing I like the most is how they win even if their comp has more money,better hardware or released before them.
Yeah and Dodge sells more family mini vans than Ferrari sells sport cars, but I still rather have the Ferrari.
Sony just needs to release more games for PSVR and they will have a monopoly of the VR markey
